Re: Scope clarity

Well looked through a Nikon Bolt today and it is 1000 times clearer than the Deadzone
no speed dial
Nice and simple and very clear
That's all I need .

Re: Scope clarity

Ya I guess I should try and return it , the other ones in store were not any different,
Even the salesman didn't like it but he was clueless on what to do about it

Re: Scope clarity

Ya I have the same problem with my dead zone
Either crosshairs are blurry or target is blurry
Compared it at store with another dead zone scope
Same results. They are beyond junk, complete trash,
So the affordable crossbow now needs a new scope
More frustration

Re: Variable power magnification

I don't get it, I thought you had to have speed dial set so arrows would hit bullseye at each chevron, so if you crank up magnification your chevrons will be off bullseye because speed setting is changed?
Or do you have to reset speed dial before shooting?

Variable power magnification

Might be a silly question, Does the POI change with different magnification
Is the zoom controlled by speed dial? if so wouldn't that change speed setting and change POI ?
Pretty sure this question has been asked before. Thanks
Love this forum ,so much info

Re: New micro 335 string issues

Ok read his webpage,will get some sandpaper and go over it.
Is it worth just going with the stock string again?
Also had scope question on clarity of twilight dlx scope compared to dead zone
Thanks

Re: New micro 335 string issues

Hey thanks,used wax on string and Excalibur rail lube, not a lot, I looked for burrs and so did my dealer,
Why would Excalibur claim no issues when there is?
Oh I see there are a lot of guys making strings
